Federal IRA Tax Credits for HVAC โ€” 2026

The Inflation Reduction Act created two significant HVAC tax credit programs. Here's what California homeowners need to know โ€” and how ECO Heating & Cooling installs qualifying equipment.

IRA 25C: The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit

Section 25C of the Inflation Reduction Act provides an annual federal income tax credit for qualifying HVAC installations. This credit runs through December 31, 2032, and resets every year โ€” meaning you can claim it multiple times over the years for different improvements.

EquipmentCredit Amount
Qualifying Heat Pump HVAC (air-source)Up to $2,000 per year
High-Efficiency Central Air ConditionerUp to $600 per year
High-Efficiency Gas FurnaceUp to $600 per year

Efficiency Requirements (25C)

  • Heat pumps: ENERGY STAR certified, meeting or exceeding ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria
  • Central AC: SEER2 โ‰ฅ 16 (split system) or SEER2 โ‰ฅ 15.2 (single package)
  • Gas furnace: AFUE โ‰ฅ 97% (in most climate zones)

IRA 25D: The Residential Clean Energy Credit

Section 25D covers geothermal heat pumps and solar systems. Unlike 25C, the 25D credit is 30% of total installed cost with no dollar cap โ€” potentially worth tens of thousands on a geothermal installation.
